I know how to calculate the pot odds for the mainstream draws, but I've been thinking about backdoor flush draws recently. I've found the chances of making a flush with 3 to a flush on the flop to be about 5%. Please tell me if this is wrong.
So I was wondering if that means you need 19-1 pot odds on the flop to proceed with the draw? I don't believe that is the case...
The issue of whether you'll see the river card for free is also in play I suppose - I'm just not confident in how I should go about the calculation so I thought I'd ask the probability experts.
